How does it
work?Oats might help reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels and
control appetite by causing a feeling of fullness. Oat bran might work by
blocking the absorption from the gut of substances that contribute to heart
disease, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Oatmeal is full of soluble fiber, which we know lowers LDL levels. Experts aren't exactly sure
how, but they have some ideas. When you digest fiber, it becomes gooey.
Researchers think that when it's in your intestines, it sticks to cholesterol
and stops it from being absorbed. So instead of getting that cholesterol into
your system -- and your arteries -- you simply get rid of it as waste.
How Much Do You Need? Most people should get 5 to 10 grams of
soluble fiber a day. But the average Americans only gets 3 or 4 grams. So you
should aim to double or triple your intake by consciously adding soluble fiber
to foods.
enough to lower your cholesterol, according to the
American Dietetic Association. It may be a bit much for
breakfast, so just add in oatmeal or bran to dishes at other
times of the day.
